Sidharth Malhotra to reunite with Karan Johar for new Dharma Productions project: Report It appears that 2026 may bring another collaboration between Sidharth Malhotra and filmmaker-producer Karan Johar. According to a report by Mid-Day, the actor is currently in advanced discussions to headline a new project backed by Dharma Productions. The film is expected to be an emotionally driven drama that explores complex interpersonal relationships. The project will reportedly be directed by Sharan Sharma, who previously helmed Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl and Mr & Mrs Mahi. If the project moves forward, it will mark another collaboration between Malhotra and Johar, who share a long professional association. The actor made his Bollywood debut with Johar’s Student of the Year in 2012 and has since worked with the banner on multiple occasions, including the 2024 action drama Yodha. A source quoted in the report revealed that the production house is keen to collaborate with Malhotra again and believes that the subject aligns well with the actor’s on-screen persona. “The studio is keen to collaborate with Sidharth again and feels that the subject suits his persona. He had liked the idea when it was shared with him last year. He gave a verbal go-ahead at the time and wanted to read the script before committing formally.

Collin D’Cunha roped in to direct Aditya Roy Kapur starrer produced by Dharma Productions: Report In a fresh update on Karan Johar’s upcoming horror venture with Aditya Roy Kapur, filmmaker Collin D’Cunha has reportedly been approached to direct the project. According to a recent report by Variety India, the film is shaping up to be an unconventional genre blend — a slasher comedy that mixes satire, witty dialogue, gore and exaggerated performances. The development adds a new layer of intrigue to the project, which was first reported by Bollywood Hungama in January. At the time, it was revealed that Aditya Roy Kapur had signed on to headline a horror thriller backed by Karan Johar’s banner, Dharma Productions. Now, with Collin D’Cunha — known for his work on Call Me Bae and Do You Wanna Partner — being considered for the director’s chair, the film is expected to lean heavily into a playful and self-aware tone while retaining elements of horror. Sources suggest the film’s style and storytelling approach could be reminiscent of the cult parody franchise Scary Movie, combining genre tropes with humour and over-the-top moments. When the project was first reported earlier this year, a source shared details about how the collaboration came together. “Karan Johar has locked a horror thriller for his banner, Dharma Productions and has roped in Aditya Roy Kapur to play the lead character. Adi read the script and didn't take long to come on board. It's a unique project, and ever... #Karan_Johar #Dharma_Productions #Aditya_Roy #Roy_Kapur #direct_Aditya #Collin_D’Cunha #starrer_produced #fresh_update #filmmaker_Collin #Kapur_starrer

Directed by Vinil Mathew and produced by Karan Johar, Vikas Bahl, Vikramaditya Motwane and Anurag Kashyap, the 2014 film is a refreshingly unconventional love story that beautifully balances quirk, chaos, and heartfelt emotion. Starring Sidharth Malhotra and Parineeti Chopra, Hasee Toh Phasee follows the unlikely romance between a confused groom-to-be and a brilliantly eccentric scientist, unfolding over a whirlwind week leading up to a wedding. With its sharp writing, viral dialogues, memorable music, and endearing performances, the film has earned a special place in the hearts of audiences, making its theatrical re-release a nostalgic treat for fans and a delightful discovery for a new generation. Talking about the re-release, the producer of the film, Karan Johar, said, "Hasee Toh Phasee has a very special and warm place in my heart. It wasn’t a conventional love story; it was awkward, unpredictable, and beautifully flawed, much like love itself. A love story of misfits, as I fondly call it, the film celebrates the idea that you don’t fall in love with perfection; you fall in love with chaos, with individuality, with someone who turns your world delightfully upside down. Watching audiences rediscove... #March #Karan_Johar #PVR_INOX #Dharma_Productions #INOX_Limited #Hasee_Toh #Toh_Phasee #Chopra_Hasee #comedy_Hasee #Malhotra-Parineeti_Chopra

The order was passed on February 9 by Principal Sessions Judge P. G. Bhonsale in the matter titled Karan Johar v. Ajey Nagar & Ors. The plea was filed by Johar through Apoorva Mehta, CEO of Dharma Productions, the banner owned by the filmmaker. Allegations of defamatory and abusive contentIn his plea, Johar claimed that the social media influencers had made defamatory statements about him in videos uploaded on YouTube. “The statements are so vulgar and abusive that they immediately needs to be taken down,” Johar’s plea stated. Counsel for Nagar argued before the court that the videos in question had already been taken down and that there was no surviving cause for Johar to approach the court.

Karan Johar says working with “terrifying” Saroj Khan on DDLJ “traumatised” him Filmmaker Karan Johar has opened up about a challenging experience early in his career, recalling how legendary choreographer Saroj Khan reacted to his involvement during the making of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ). In a conversation with The Hollywood Reporter India, Johar described the encounter as frightening and emotionally taxing, even though he ultimately acknowledged Saroj Khan’s talent. Johar began his career in the film industry as a costume assistant on the 1995 romantic drama, working under Aditya Chopra and alongside designer Manish Malhotra. Years later, he reflected on the intensity he experienced on set, particularly during the filming of the song ‘Mehndi Laga Ke Rakhna. ’“At that time, the costume dada was my biggest ally… Manish would come in the morning, hand over the clothes, and leave. I was the costume assistant, and Pam aunty was deeply involved in the process,” Johar recalled, referring to Pamela Chopra’s hands-on role with costumes. Trouble emerged when Saroj Khan requested additional red scarves for dancers mid-shoot. The team did not have enough fabric on hand, prompting Johar to suggest a workaround to Saroj’s assistant: “…it would look stylish if the dancers put one hand in their pocket and held the scarf in the other. ”However, when Saroj Khan learned of the idea she was not receptive. Johar said she “lost it,” demanding red satin cloth immediately or threate... #Karan_Johar #Dilwale_Dulhania #Filmmaker_Karan #Saroj_Khan #DDLJ #Johar #challenging_experience #experience_early #legendary_choreographer #Khan_reacted
